Ottoville council
president resigns
BY STEVEN COBURN-GRIFFIS
DHI MEDIA Staff Writer
sgriffis@delphosherald.com
OTTOVILLE Mondays meeting of the Ottoville Village
Council concluded in unexpected fashion: with the resignation
of its president, Randolph Altenburger. The announcement came
after council met in executive session, at Altenburgers request, to
discuss matters related to personnel/public officials.
Altenburger, whose third term in office expires at the end
of 2015, explained that his decision not to run for a fourth term
is what prompted his immediate resignation from council. In
August, when Altenburger filed for the November ballot, he said
that he was on the fence as to whether he wanted to continue
serving.
After coming to the conclusion that he no longer wished to
do so, he discovered that it was too late to remove his name from
the ballot. Personnel at the Putnam County Board of Elections
assured him that signage in the relevant polling places would
announce that he is no longer a candidate.
Even so, Altenburger said that he wasnt satisfied and, concerned that the situation would prove a hardship for village residents, believed it necessary to take further action.
I thought that was going to confuse a lot of people in the
public, he said. I didnt think it would be fair to council and
thought it would be a lot easier for council that if I resigned now,
prior to the election, then at least they would have a chance to look
into filling my seat before the end of the year. I just thought it was
better all around for the village.
From a practical standpoint, Altenburgers resignation leaves
the village shy one councilor, requiring either council or the villages administration to take action.

Read One Program stresses the importance of literacy

Literacy program celebrates
third year in operation
BY DHI Media Staff
news@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS - Crisp fall air, the turning of the calendar to
October, and curling up with a good book are all reminders
that the Times Bulletin Read One Program is ready to begin
for 2015.
Approximately one
in five U.S. adults (21
percent) cannot read
above the fourth-grade
level and are considered functionally illiterate. Illiteracy also
translates to a higher
likelihood of needing
food stamps or earning below the poverty
level. A person who is functionally illiterate is also more
likely to end up in jail or be on welfare. (See the September

19 Times Bulletin editorial for more information on the
importance of literacy.)
The Delphos Herald Read One Program began in 2013
as a way to emphasize the importance of battling illiteracy
in the local community and the Delphos Public Library
teamed up with the project to help point readers toward
a wide variety of books. Once again this year multiple
newspapers and library systems in Ohio are taking part in
the program.

Has it been 5 years? Knebels

Seems more like 4
I missed writing about this last week or better yet, put it
off a week while I was writing about the death of Yogi Berra.
I refer, my dear 1,013,215 faithful readers my, the number is growing exponentially, aint it? One might claim I am
making it up but according to my researchers at the website
scoopmetcalfeisthegreatestbarnone.com, they are factually
accurate! to the 2016 Pro Football Hall of Fame ballot.
I wont go through the ENTIRE list of 108.
The first-year nominees (has it been five years already
since they retired? My, how time flies!) are Brett Favre,
Terrell Owens, Alan Faneca, Lawyer Milloy, Brian Westbrook,
Clinton Portis, John Carney, Keith Bulluck and Mike Vrabel.
Favre is a lock.
I also believe the explosive and bombastic Owens is as well,
unless the voters decide he was more headache than athlete in
his 15 seasons, and Faneca, a 6-time All-Pro guard for the
gasp! Pittsburgh
Steelers!
The rest of the
Jim Metcalfe
new nominees? At
best in my humble
but correct opinion
Milloy might be in
(I know my Pigskin
Picks colleague Erin
Cox will obliterate
me because he made
most of his fame for
the ahem New England Patriots.
The finalists from the 2015 ballot are intriguing, especially
Marvin Harrison and Morten Anderson.
I think a legitimate case can be made for all of them: coaches Don Coryell, Tony Dungy and Jimmy Johnson; running
back Terrell Davis; linebacker-defensive end Kevin Greene;
safety John Lynch; tackle Orlando Pace; and quarterback Kurt
Warner.
The others on the ballot have been on there too long to really have a chance after all, if youve been on the ballot for
10 years, how can your stats be all of a sudden Hall-of-Fame
status?

Fort Jennings is traditionally a solid program and they
played like it tonight. They
frustrated us at times and we
had to dig deep, especially the
second half when they really
came at us, Jefferson coach
Josiah Stober commented.
The girls have realized how
they want to play and
how we expect them to so
much so that when we dont,
we get frustrated. We played
pretty well the first half but
they possessed the ball the
second half more. We simply
had to calm down and get that
second wind after Jennings
had pushed us hard.
Musketeer mentor Rodney
Wagner was pleased overall.

We played well the second half. I always think a
good measuring stick of
how you played against a
team is when they are visibly
frustrated and we had them
like that the second half,
he explained. For us, weve
been up and down: when we
have a good offensive game,
we struggled defensively or
its the other way around. If
we could put a whole game
together, I think we could
put a hurt on someone. In
the end, we let one player (Knebel) have too many
chances and eventually it will
go in; the goal she scored in
the second half to win it, you

have to give her credit.

The Wildcats led 1-0 at the
half but the Lady Musketeers
(5-6-0) came out with a
renewed purpose.
After the Red and White
had the first at 37:03
when Knebels 14-yarder was stopped by keeper
Vanessa Wallenhorst (6 saves
vs. 8 shots on-goal) the
Musketeers had their first try
at 36:36 when Erin Eickholts
14-yarder was denied by
keeper Jessica Pimpas (7
saves vs. 9 shots).
The Orange and Black
tied it at the 34-minute mark.
Eickholt, deep on the right
side, crossed to the left side
to Abby Von Sossan; before
Pimpas could get there, she
1-touched it to Brandi Kaskel
on the right for a 4-yarder.
The tide began to turn as
the Lady Wildcats settled
down and started to get the
ball to their forwards, mainly Knebel but also freshman
Maddie McConnahea.
An apparent tally by
Jeffersons Kenzie Hammons
at 23:10 was disallowed on a
handball.
The guests had a terrific
chance at 15:00. Off a corner
kick, Jessica Young had an
8-yarder in front deflected
by Tori Redmon and Marissa
Krietemeyers follow was
over the top.

High School Football Previews

BY JIM METCALFE
The first half of the 2015 high school

football season is gone and teams are headed
down the home stretch as conference races
are heating up and playoff considerations are
growing.
Both Delphos teams are on the road
Friday night as Jefferson visits Bluffton in the
Northwest Conference and St. Johns heads to
Minster to tangle with the defending Division
VI champions (now in D VII).
JEFFERSON AT BLUFFTON
The Wildcats (4-1, 2-0 NWC) stand atop the conference standings and are currently seeded seventh in
Region 22 computer points.
The Pirates are 4-1 (1-1 NWC) and stand 11th in that
same region.
Jefferson coach Chris Sommers knows what to expect
from the Pirates.
The one thing that really stands out with them is
their athleticism, starting with their quarterback, Mitchell
Ault. He has been there three-plus years and not only is
a talented thrower but he can take off and run, Sommers
explained. He has a number of athletic receivers to
throw to and they are running the ball more this year than
last, so they are more balanced and diverse. Throw in a
big, physical and veteran offensive line and they have a
complete offense that can put up a ton of points.
Defensively, their 4-3/4-4 it starts up front with a
physical line that has been through the wars before, a
solid group of linebackers and a good secondary. They
are just a very sound group well-coached and disci-
plined on that side of the ball.

The Wildcats will look to match up with the Pirates
with their ball-control offense and emerging passing
game, as well as a deep defensive line and strong back 7.
Or so Sommers whose team comes off a 41-0
bashing of Paulding hopes.
I feel we match up with them size-wise and strengthwise. They are athletic but these kids have worked hard
in the off-season in an effort to improve our athleticism
and I think we have done so, so I feel we match up with
them, Sommers added. Weve had to do that because of
their ability and other teams like them to stretch the
field and make you defend the entire field. Defensively,
we know we cannot give them the big play because they
have the big-play players.
In the end, though, we want to control the football
and give our offense opportunities to grind it out and
wear them down and yet be better balanced. Coach (John)
Edinger has really done a nice job coaching the offense
and getting us to that point where we feel comfortable.
We also just need to keep getting better. I was very
pleased with my guys we as a coaching staff told them
so after the game and during practice this week about
how we played with passion for the game and love for
one another. That is what we are trying to instill in our
players and we took a big step forward last week.
Kickoff is 7 p.m.
ST. JOHNS AT MINSTER
The Blue Jays (1-4, 1-2 MAC) come off their first win
of 2015 a 33-0 whitewash of New Bremen.
The Wildcats (3-2) who edged Versailles 20-12
stand sixth in Region 26.
Though the Wildcats lost plenty of players from that
2014 title team, Blue Jay head coach Todd Schulte knows
they are still loaded.
It starts with Josh Nixon, their quarterback. I thought
he was the best in our league last year and I am even more

Lady Cats sweep Pioneers
Jeffersons Devyn Carder has Claire Thompson and Sarah

Miller as options during volleyball action vs. LTC Monday
at home. (DHI Media/Jim Metcalfe)
BY JIM METCALFE
DELPHOS Jefferson
first-year volleyball coach
Sherrie Stewart has been

patiently waiting for her
young Lady Wildcats to start
playing as she felt they could.
She is starting to see it
after Monday nights 25-17,
25-13, 25-16 sweep of Lima

Temple Christian in nonleague action Monday inside
the Jefferson High School
gymnasium.
Its starting to come
together for us, like I felt we
could play all along. Weve
been talking all along with
them about how we need to
do it and its nice to see
it translate it to the floor,
Stewart said. I think were
starting to find our roles and
what we can do well as individuals and as a team, things
I knew all along we could do
but just werent.
The Lady Cats (7-8) got
off quickly in set one, building a 10-3 lead and forcing Lady Pioneer coach Tim
Acklin to call a halt. After
a kill by Macy Wallace (8
kills, 3 digs) and another
kill by Claire Thompson (3
aces, 13 assists) put the Red
and White up 12-3, a serving
error helped jump-start a 7-1
spurt by the visitors, aided by

three Jefferson hitting errors,
to get within 13-10. A serving
error stopped the momentum
and the hosts took advantage
of several mis-hits by the
Pioneers to secure a 20-11
edge.
The visitors got back within 21-16 on a hitting error but
answered with a 5-1 closing
spurt, capped by a spike off
the block by Sarah Miller (6
kills, 3 digs), for a 1-set lead.
LTC got off to a quicker
start in set two, getting a
stuff by Morgan Callahan to
take a 5-2 lead. The Wildcats
spurted with four in a row
and each team had a time in
the lead in the next moments.
That is, until a 12-12 tie on a
Miller spike. A Devyn Carder
bash off the defense gave the
hosts a 13-12 lead and they
never trailed again the rest of
the match.

Finally, at the 4:02 mark,
Knebel off a great goal
kick from Logan Hamilton
got possession on the
defensive side of midfield and
made her move down the left
sideline. She dribbled through
the defense all the way to the
wing and her 13-yarder just
outside the left post found the
sliver of a hole to that side and
a 2-1 edge.
Knebel also had the only
goal of the first half at 32:33.
McConnahea, on a cross from
deep on the left side, found
Knebel in the middle and
her 12-yarder went low and
hard to the left side by keeper
Devyn Weichart (2 saves vs. 4
shots on-goal) for a 1-0 lead.

Miller City upends

Lady Blue Jays
BY JIM METCALFE
DELPHOS The St. Johns girls soccer crew was looking

to get back on the winning track Monday night after a 5-match
losing skein, while Miller City sought to do what head coach
Ron Bruce was imploring them to do during practice last week.
The visiting Lady Wildcats got the job done, executing a 5-1
non-league victory over the Lady Blue Jays at The St. Johns
Annex.
The Jays (3-9) continued a pattern that head coach Adam
Smith has been dealt with lately; spotting the visiting Wildcats
(5-6-2) a goal within two minutes of the opening kickoff.
This is about the fourth match in a row that we gave up
a goal within the first five minutes and were fighting from
behind, Smith explained. We tied it up but then gave up a
second goal and we are back fighting uphill. We are starting to
get some injured players back but we need time to mold them
back in and get other healthy. The effort that wasnt there early
on in the season is there now. We have some winnable games
coming if we start to play consistently, as I know we can.
At 38:04, Cassie Niese crossed a pass from the left side that
St. Johns keeper Kristina Koester (11 saves versus 16 shots
on-goal) tried to cut off but the ball slipped through her fingers;
Megan Niese was wide open on the right post and her 8-yarder
was true for a 1-0 edge.
The Wildcats kept attacking and using the whole pitch to get
shots against the Jays but Koester came up with a pair of saves
or the visitors were wide of the target.
The Jays finally pieced a sequence together that tied the
match at 1 with 13:37 to go in the first half. Maria GiambranoFuge got control of the orb at midfield and made a long dribble
through the defense to the wing, then inside and launched a
12-yarder to the right side past keeper Amanda Simon (3 saves
vs. 7 shots on-goal).

Football
It starts with Josh Nixon, their

quarterback. I thought he was the
best in our league last year; I am even
more impressed this year, Schulte
explained. He prefers to stand in
the pocket and pick you apart. He
doesnt have Eli Wolf (University of
Tennessee) but they have three guys
with good numbers back. They dont
have the biggest line but they use
their feet really well.
Defensively, they run the 3-5
and its all about getting to the football with as many players as they
can. They have a lot of guys in
the 6-2/6-3, 190-pound range. They
dont blitz a lot; the players execute

the scheme very well.

The Jays know one of the keys
for them will be an offense slowly
finding itself even minus starting
quarterback Jacob Youngpeter
behind new quarterback Troy Elwer
and a defense also playing better.
Last week, we took advantage
of some opportunities wed been
missing on; we need to build on that
this week. We also need to eliminate
the big play; against Fort Recovery
two weeks ago, we played well for
several plays in a row and then give
up the big one, Schulte added. We
need to be better on third downs.
We needed that win for the kids
to have a reward after working so
hard; they come to practice every day
and keep trying to get better.

Jays continue roll through

Monday DSA action Blue
non-conference schedule
BY LARRY HEIING
DHI Media Correspondent
DELPHOS The St.

Johns volleyball team continued its roll through the
non-league part of the schedule Monday night at Arnzen
Gym, sweeping Lincolnview
25-20, 25-22, 25-19.
The Blue Jays improved
to 10-1 against teams not in
the tough Midwest Athletic
Conference (1-4) for an 11-5
overall record.
The Lancers, on the other
hand, didnt play like a squad
with a 3-9 record.
Im so proud of our effort
on the floor against a talented St. Johns team, Lancer
coach JaNahn Evans said.
We connected on defense as
well as offense tonight. We
had some great digs that led
to some offensive runs and
our defense read St. Johns,
well getting some big blocks
at the net.
Ellie Csukker (18 assists)
got the Jays scoring underway in the second set with a
cross-court kill. The Lancers
tied it on a soft tip by Carly
Wendel (7 kills, 10 digs)
and opened a 6-3 lead on
her back-to-back kills. St.
Johns came back on slams
by Maddie Ellis (6 kills), taking the lead on three straight
aces by Maddie Buettner (6
kills, 6 aces, 8 digs). After a
Lancer halt, they pulled within one on a tip by Makenna
Klausing (5 kills, 13 digs),

plus a Kayla Schimmoeller
(14 kills, 14 digs) kill.
The Blue Jays went on
an 8-0 run with kills by
Jessica Geise (11 digs, 10
kills), Csukker and Maddie
Pohlman (8 kills), along with
an ace by Olivia Kahny (23
digs, 5 kills). Lincolnview
regrouped and scored the
next five points, highlighted
by a kill by Wendel. A slam
and ace by Schimmoeller,
plus another Wendel kill,
drew them within 19-18. St.
Johns outscored the Lancers
6-3 down the stretch as
Csukker collected two assists
to Buettner and Geise for the
slams to seal the win.
The third set started much
like the second as St. Johns
scored first and Lincolnview
took the lead on two blocks
by Katlyn Wendel (13 digs)
and a Carly Wendel kill. St.
Johns used good ball placement as a slam by Ellis fell
in and Kahnys kill landed in
the corner. Consecutive aces
by Maya Gerker (18 assists, 2
aces) gave the lead back to the
Jays before a set by Kaitlyn
Brenneman to Schimmoeller
for the slam tied the set at 9.
Despite nice digs by
Klausing and Carly Wendel,
the Jays led 13-9 lead on kills
by Csukker and Kahny. The
Lancers drew within a pair on
a hitting error and an ace by
Schimmoeller. Thats as close
as they got as St. Johns started to dominate at the net with
Jessica Geise of St. Johns

kills by Kahny (Gerker assist)
and Pohlman for an 18-11
edge. Lincolnview made one
final run as Schimmoeller
landed a backcourt kill and a
tip by Klausing fell in. A final
slam by Kahny, a Buettner
ace and a block by Geise
gave the Jays the match.
I thought that we played
a bit off tonight in between
an emotional win at Kalida
Saturday and a MAC battle with Parkway coming
on Thursday, explained
Blue Jay coach Carolyn
Dammeyer. I give a lot
of credit to Lincolnview
because they played scrappy
and didnt let many balls fall.
They did a good job at the
net on defense, creating some
problems for us offensively.
Lady Green falls to Titans in VB

BY MALLORY HAY
OTTOVILLE - Ottoville hosted OttawaGlandorf Monday night at L. W. Heckman

Gymnasium in a non-conference matchup.
The Lady Green took a set from the Lady
Titans but ran out of momentum as O-G won
25-20, 20-25, 25-14, 25-14 to improve to 12-1
overall; Ottoville fell to 8-4 on the season.
Ottawa-Glandorf jumped to early leads
of 8-1 and 13-4 thanks to Emily Annesser.
Ottoville head coach Andi Wertenberger
called a timeout to regroup her team. The
timeout did just that as the Lady Green went
on a 10-4 run from the help of Bridget Landin,
CJ Kemper and Lexie Thorbahn at the net to
bring their team within five, 12-17.
The Lady Titans went on a 4-1 spurt to
extend their lead to 21-13. An ace from Jordan
Alt gave Ottawa-Glandorf a commanding
24-13 advantage but Ottoville wasnt ready to
give up just quite yet.
Three errors from the Ottawa-Glandorf
squad brought Ottoville within seven at 17-24
but an Annesser kill secured the first-set victory for the visiting team.
The Lady Green came out storming in
the second set, taking a 6-3 advantage off a
Madi Knodell kill. Another kill from Landin
extended Ottovilles lead to 10-5 before O-G
coach Ann Ellerbrock called a timeout.
After the timeout, O-G went on an 8-3 run
to tie the game at 13 off a Carly Alt kill. The
Titans took their only lead in the second set
on a net error from the home team for 13-12.

Jays
That tie stood for 2:15.

Megan Niese touched a pass
from the right side atop the
box to Bailey Schroeder on
the left post and her 14-yarder drove low and hard to the
right side for a 2-1 lead.
The Jays nearly tied it at
2 at 5:47. On a lead from
the right side by Hayleigh
Bacome, Ashlyn Troyer beat
the keeper to the ball inside
the 18 but her 10-yarder from
the left post missed just wide.
Alas for the hosts, Miller
City countered just 46 ticks
later. Tiffany Welty, on the
left side, launched a perfect
cross pass to a streaking
Megan Niese on the right
post and her 12-yarder got
inside that post for a 3-1 edge.

The Jays nearly got that
back at 2:33. Bacome got
possession on the right side
and worked for a 22-yarder
but it just missed the crossbar.
The Jays had the first good
effort the second half at
38:57. Troyer made a quick
run down the left sideline and
let loose from the wing but
her 8-yarder was deflected
out of play by the keeper.
Koester kept it a 2-goal
deficit at 31:20. Liz Klear
launched a 30-yard free kick
that nearly bounced over her;
Koester deflected it off the
bar and also stopped Ines
Martinezs follow.
The Jays had another
chance at 27:58. Halie Hays
chipped a 14-yarder on the
right post that hit the bar and

before a follow could happen,
Klear cleared it out of danger.
The Wildcats went up 4-1
at 24:47. On a cross from the
left by Megan Niese, Cassie
Niese settled the ball and
launched a curling 25-yarder
that eluded a diving keeper
into the left side of the twine.
Two minutes hence,
Koester stymied a 1-on-1
with Schroeder from 8 yards.
The visitors tacked on the
final goal at 8:12. Megan
Niese again delivered a cross
from deep on the left side
toward the middle; Koester
tried to grab it but the ball
deflected off a defender and
allowed a wide-open bash by
Tess Niese.
Miller City finished second with a 346 followed by

Columbus Grove with a 375,
Fort Jennings 384, Ottoville
386 and Leipsic 463.
Kalida was led by Jeffrey
Knueve and Evan Recker
with 77s. Josh Klausing had
an 81, while Trent Siebeneck
and Christian Nartker had
86s and Derek Buss a 92.
Miller City was led by
Jacob Schimmoeller with an
80, Davis Lammers 81, Trey
Hermiller finished 92, Calvin
Stechschulte 93, Adam
Schroeder 95 and Luke
Lammers 97.
Cats
a 21-17 lead. Quinley Schlagbaum gave

Ottoville a 24-20 advantage before OttawaGlandorf had a mis-hit and ended the second-set victory in favor of the home team.
The Lady Titans took a quick 6-2 lead off
an Olivia Hermiller deep kill and extended
their lead 12-3 with an ace from Jordan Alt.
Ottoville came within 11-17 off a Kemper kill
from the outside but O-G did everything right
the third set to get an easy victory.
The momentum switched starting the
fourth set with Ottoville jumping to leads of
6-2 and 7-4 thanks to Schlagbaum at the net.
O-G rallied back on a 6-1 run to take the 8-7
lead and never looked back as they easily took
the set and the match from the home team.
OG is very aggressive and a sound team,
said Wertenberger. We did well the second
game with the momentum and picking up
balls. We picked up a lot more balls than we
normally do. The third and fourth sets, we
lost the momentum and werent aggressive
anymore.
Ottoville doesnt have time to rest as they
travel to Pandora tonight for a Putnam County
League matchup against the Lady Rockets.
We play Pandora tomorrow and they are
very, very scrappy, Wertenberger said. We
need to come out ready to go, playing with
momentum.
Hermiller led the Titans with 13 kills and
five aces. Jordan Alt had six blocks while
Annesser had 19 assists and 10 kills. Lauren
Buddelmeyer dished out 20 assists while
Jenna Warnimont finished with 21 digs.
Ottoville was led by Landin with eight
kills, four blocks and two aces. Kemper added
eight kills, three aces and two blocks and
Thorbahn 21 assists.
With the second-best

score of the day, Miller
Citys Schimmoeller was
named the PCL Player of the
Year (based on regular-season league matches and tournament finishes). Joining
him on the first team were
Lammers; Brendon Schnipke
of Ottoville; and Knueve,
Klausing and Recker.
Named to the second team
were Andy Schimmoeller,

The Wildcats continued on without the

Vantage senior Medical Office Management students Liz Lammers (Lincolnview), Lexi
Doster (Continental), Caitlin Wilder (Van Wert), Kendra McMonigal (Continental) and
Brenna Baker (Wayne Trace) load the truck full of Day of Caring Food Drive items.
Vantage students moved by Day of Caring

VAN WERT Vantage Career Center students were very

active in the 17th annual United Way Day of Caring. The
Medical Office Management students and their teacher, Mrs.
Paula VanTilburg, directed the schools food drive blitz on
Sept. 11, when over 3,000 canned food items were donated for
the Salvation Army Food Drive. Two programs won pizza parties for their donations Industrial Mechanics, who brought in
over 700 food items and Buildings & Grounds, who, with only
10 students, donated 33 items per student!
An additional $1,800 was raised to purchase more groceries. Vantage students and staff were able to contribute over
5,000 non-perishable food items to the Salvation Army this
year.
Providing some much-needed muscle to load and unload

the donated food on and off the collection trucks were students
from the Building and Grounds program and their first-year
teacher, Dave DeLano, and aide, Brenda Wurst.
The Vantage Student Ambassadors, along with teacher
aide Nancy Keith and Social Studies teacher Tony Unverferth
worked at the Salvation Army Food Drive, helping to unload,
sort, count, box and store donated food items from around the
county.
New senior Health Tech teacher. Wendy Baumle and her
students volunteered their expertise at the bloodmobile held
at Trinity Friends Church Family Life Center. Using what
they learned from class and their practical experiences, they
performed duties on the bloodmobile floor and in the kitchen
and canteen to assist the American Red Cross to insure things
went as smoothly as possible. This year, 43 Vantage seniors

were able donate blood during their lab time.
Although Robin Burns and the Culinary Arts class stayed
at school, they participated in the days activities by preparing
delicious chicken noodle soup (with homemade noodles) and
potato soup for the Red Cross workers and the volunteers at
the bloodmobile.
Community service projects provide a real opportunity for
students to learn how to work well with others. Being able to
give help without expecting anything in return is an important
lesson in life. Thank You to all Vantage students and staff
who donated food, time, finances or blood to help make this
special day a success in Van Wert County. Vantage is proud to
have been part of it.

Black Mass
"Sounds Familiar"
Directed by Scott Cooper

R
In the crime underworld,

theres nothing lower than a
rata snitch, a two-timer, an
informer who sells his soul to
save his skin.
Early in this powerful screen
adaptation of the 2001 book
by Boston Globe reporters
Dick Lehr and Gerard ONeill,
Irish-American hood Whitey
Bulger (Johnny Depp) meets
FBI agent John Connelly (Joel
Edgerton), who wants Bulgers
help in reeling in some even
bigger fishthe Italian Mafia.
Connelly asks Bulger to become an informant. Bulger recoils. Do you know what I do
to rats? he hisses.
The audience doesnt, but
well soon find out. And if its
anything like we just saw Bulger do to a guy who displeased
him with some sloppy snackfood etiquette, we can guess
itll be ugly, brutal and swift.
In Boston crime lore, James
Whitey Bulger was a legend,
a local neighborhood kid who
became a fearsome underworld
kingpin. A career criminal, he
was a stone-cold killer who
kept his South Boston crew, the
Winter Hill Gang, busy with
murder, extortion and drug
dealing. But he could also be
kind to old ladies, a loving father and a doting son.
Black Mass begins in 1975,
and shows how Bulger did,
indeed, become an informant,
creating an unholy alliance
thatironicallyexpanded
his criminal reign by giving
him protection, and drawing
agent Connelly dangerously deep into Bulgers world.
It also complicated things for

Building a fraud-free family

BY NATHANIEL SILLIN

Strategy & Research. More
than 64 percent of respondents
said they were not very concerned about identity fraud,
but were far more likely to
find out they were fraud victims long after the damage
occurred, such as through a
call from a debt collector or a
rejection letter from a lender.
Most consumers under
the age of 18 shouldnt have
a credit record at all. But as
digital thieves become more
sophisticated and federal agencies become occasionally vulnerable to hackers, critical privacy data like Social Security
numbers which many parents obtain for their children
in infancy to save or invest
money or buy insurance on
their behalf could be at risk
years before a child ever opens
a bank account or applies for
a loan.
For all of these reasons, it
may be time to think about a
family fraud plan. Here are
some steps to consider.
Check the accuracy of all
family credit data. Parents
should begin by checking their
A generation ago, most

families didnt think about
financial fraud. Today, it can
come in many forms over
the phone, through the mail
and increasingly, online. Its an
equal opportunity crime that
affects consumers of all ages.
For the 15th straight year,
the Federal Trade Commission
tapped identity theft as the
number one source of consumer complaints in its
2014 Consumer Sentinel
Network Data Book released
in February. The agency also
noted a large increase in
so-called imposter scams
phone calls and emails from
thieves purporting to represent
the government as a way to
steal data and money from
unsuspecting adults.
Young people particularly
students may be the fastest-growing group of fraud targets. Due to their dependence
and sometimes unwitting
use of computers and mobile
devices, young people may be
the greatest potential victims
of financial fraud, according
own credit reports to make

sure creditor data and loan balances are accurate and no inaccuracies or unfamiliar lenders
have crept into their information. Once clear, adult children
can make sure senior relatives
are taking similar steps. As
for minors, the three major
credit agencies TransUnion,
Equifax and Experian have
their own website guidelines
for confirming and evaluating
a minors credit data.
Make sure mailboxes are
safe from thieves and any document with an account number
or identifying data is destroyed
before it is placed in the trash.
The same goes for tax returns
that are no longer needed.
Learn how to protect all
mobile computer and handheld data and have a plan in
place in case any family member loses a smartphone, tablet
or laptop/desktop computer.
Tips are available online, from
smartphone service providers
and device manufacturers.
Online, by phone and in
person, be wary of collection
demands or requests for Social
Security numbers or other
specific account data unless

the identity of the caller can
be verified. Fraudulent calls
are called vishing scams,
similar to phishing scams
that involve fraudulent emails,
texts and websites used to illegally collect personal data.
Install all software security updates immediately on
mobile devices and computers and ensure passwords are
unique and frequently updated.
Sign up for fraud alerts
from banks, credit card issuers or investment companies
to receive immediate word of
unusual or potentially illegal
activity on accounts.
Bottom line: Identity
thieves and other financial
fraudsters watch consumer
behavior closely and are equally adept at stealing money and
data in person, over the phone
and online. Have a plan in
place to protect the entire family.

FCU merges with Superior
LIMA St. Marys Parish Ottoville Federal Credit

Union members have voted affirmatively to merge into
Superior Federal Credit Union. The National Credit Union
Administration (NCUA) approved the merger in July 2015,
pending a member vote. The St. Marys Parish Ottoville FCU
membership vote was certified at the conclusion of a special
meeting held in August
Members of St. Marys Parish Ottoville FCU will officially
join Superior Federal Credit Union at the close of business
today.
St. Marys Parish Ottoville FCU, founded in 1947, had 105
members and assets of approximately $143,000. The credit
union served parishioners of Immaculate Conception Catholic
Church in Ottoville with savings and loan programs. Members
from St. Marys Parish Ottoville FCU will have full access to
Superiors branches and services beginning Thursday.
St. Marys Parish Ottoville has a long and rich history of
serving their members. We welcome the parishs members
to join Superior and look forward to providing them future
cooperative financial services, said Phil Buell, CEO, Superior

ARIES Mar 21/Apr 20

You are extra motivated
to explore new opportunities this week, Aries.
Bring along a trusted advisor who can steer you
in the right direction if you
have questions.
TAURUS Apr 21/May
21
It is very important to find
balance, Taurus. Many
activities are coming up,
and you have to figure
out a way to juggle them
all. This will take some
creativity.
GEMINI May 22/Jun 21
Gemini, avoid overindulging this week. Even
though it may seem
like you can never get
enough, over time something special may lose its
spark. Practice moderation, instead.
CANCER Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer,
everything
will work out the way
it should if you keep a
smile on your face this
week and continue with
the status quo. Soon you
can shake things up.
LEO Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, you may be compelled to get more involved in your community
or a volunteer project this
week. A desire to give
something back propels
your actions.
VIRGO Aug 24/Sept 22
You have a soft spot for
underdogs this week, Virgo. Anyone who seems
to be struggling will have
your attention, and you
will offer to lend a hand.
LIBRA Sept 23/Oct 23
Libra, this week presents
opportunities to help people or even animals in
need. If ever there was a
time to take up a cause,
now is it. You have plenty of extra time to lend a
hand.
SCORPIO Oct 24/Nov

22
Scorpio, you may find
yourself waking up extra
early just to accomplish
everything you need to
get done. Try not to burn
the candle at both ends
for too long.
SAGITTARIUS Nov
23/Dec 21
Sagittarius, you will enjoy downtime much more
after you complete an
important task and feel
a sense of accomplishment. Rest may still be
a few days away, so be
patient.
CAPRICORN Dec 22/
Jan 20
Capricorn, things may be
a little confusing of late,
but you will find a clear
path to get things done.
Ask a friend or colleague
to lend a helping hand if
things get too hectic.
AQUARIUS Jan 21/
Feb 18
Relationships are very
important this week,
Aquarius. Nurture both
the personal and professional relationships that
you want to grow, and
you will be happy you
did.
PISCES Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, the earlier half of
the week may be hectic,
but things will return to
an even keel as the days
press on.

Trivia
Answers to last Saturdays questions:

Henry David Thoreau, in Walden: or Life in the
Woods, which was published in 1854,, cautioned his readers to beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.
Observant Jews wear white on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year.
Todays questions:
Who were the first singing brothers inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
For whiskey to be called bourbon, how much corn,
percentagewise, must there be in its grain blend?
Answers in Saturdays Herald.
Todays joke:
A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest
town he planned to visit on his vacation.
He wrote, I would very much like to bring my dog
with me. He is well groomed and very well behaved.
Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my
room with me at night?
An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who
said, Ive been operating this hotel for many years.
In all that time Ive never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls. Ive never
had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being
drunk and disorderly. Ive never had a dog run out on a
hotel bill. Yes indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel.
And if your dog will vouch for you, youre welcome to
stay here, too.

Older girls in the troop mentored the younger ones and
spent more than 20 hours with the younger Scouts helping
them earn their Silver Award. They also made a safety video
addressing water, tornado, fire and car safety and more. This
earned Samantha Stevenson, Michaela Hoffman and Jessie
Chandler their Leadership Bars.
The girls raised money for the kits with a bake sale and
donations.
We got a ton of stuff from the local dentists, Michaela
Hoffman said.
Local box stores also offered discounts and free items for
the kits.
It was a group effort to decide what the project would be.
I had a friend who had a fire and I was talking to the girls
and they wanted to help and they turned it into a community
project, Troop Leader Diana Hoffman said.
The girls spent several evening assembling the kits and
then contacted the Thrift Shop so they could be delivered.
This is just a wonderful project, Thrift Shop Social
Service Director Becky Strayer said. We are all about help-

Council also reviewed two separate ongoing
issues involving local businesses that remain unresolved. In May, conflict between Bee Line Trucking
and Main Street Market came to a head with representatives of both businesses addressing council
with their concerns about Dollar Street. Several possible solutions were presented to both businesses in
the intervening months, but any resolution remains
at an impasse as council awaits correspondence
from Celadon Trucking, the company that owns
Bee Line.
If theyre not going to talk to us, then we have
to decide what were going to do and get it done,
Miller told council.
Theresa VonSosson, the villages solicitor,
advised further patience, suggesting that long-distance negotiations require more time.

Director Kelly Rist said the
checkouts of books on the list
have increased every year of
the program and she encourages
to council at its August meeting for the purchase of

roughly 12.5 acres of land owned by the village.
PSI sought to purchase the land at $7,000 per acre, a
price consistent with what it payed when first developing its site, and offered council first right of refusal
at the same price should it fail to develop the property and put it up for sale at some point in the future.
Council approved the sale under those conditions,
prompted in part by a desire to acquire legal right-ofway on a small piece of PSI land the village requires
in order to complete a water line project years in
the making. One month later, representatives of PSI
have failed to respond to the deal.
We move and then it seems like it flattens out

In other business, council:
discussed the completion of repairs to the

Getting to know a vocational rehabilitation counselor

BY JIM LANGHAM
news@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT Emily
Millmine, a vocational
rehabilitation
counselor with Opportunities for
Ohians with Disabilities,
speaks with obvious deep
concern when she describes
those she is able to assist
those who are often hindered by various types of
disabilities.
From her office in
the basement of the
Courthouse Annex in Van
Wert, Millmine has been
able to guide many county
residents to a connection
that eventually leads to
employment and increases
self-confidence.
I really like hearing
their story, said Millmine.
I feel like I get a better
understanding of people and
what they go through. I get
to hear about all of the different kinds of medical candidates. What I like best
is seeing how their independence grows, added
Millmine. Millmine noted
that those who have trouble
working because of disabili-
ty may qualify for vocational rehabilitation services

from the Opportunities for
Ohioans with Disabilities
Agency (OOD).
She noted that vocational rehabilitation provides direct, personalized
services to help people
to obtain or retain jobs.
The vocational rehabilitation counselor works with
individuals on a one-to-one
basis to plan an individualized program leading to
gainful employment.
Millmine was raised in
the Arcanum area and graduated from Arcanum High
School. She went on to earn
a bachelor of arts degree
with a sociology major from
Ohio Northern University.
She then went on earn a
masters in social work from
Ohio State University.
She met her husband,
William Millmine, in Ada.
He graduated from Bowling
Green State University with
a Masters in Fine Art. He
currently is an art teacher
with the Lima City Schools
and also does sculpture,
works wood, metal and
glass. They have a sevenyear-old son named Lucas.
911 turns 20 in
Van Wert County
BY ED GEBERT
DHI Media Editor
egebert@timesbulletin.com
Two decades ago, residents in Van Wert County had to

know or have access to the phone numbers of police, fire, and
other emergency services to call for help. Today, all they need
to know is 911.
Its been twenty years since 911 service came to Van Wert
County, and a day to thank those who have helped in the
process or administration has been set up for this Saturday.
Van Wert County 911 Coordinator Kim Brandt said, In 1995,
911 service started in Van Wert County, and we want to give
out some gratitude and thanks to the founding fathers and the
people that make the system run every day - just a little thank
you for the people who are involved in the 911 system overall.
The 911 system had to mature quickly with the technological changes that took place in the first 20 years. The service
has changed quite a bit in the 15 years Ive been involved,
Brandt noted. Originally, every phone call came from a land
line phone, through the copper wire, and now those calls are
getting to be the antiques these days. Now it seems everyone
has their smartphone or emergency safety devices like On Star
which contact 911.
The changes in technology not only has meant changes in
equipment, but also changes in what information is needed.
911 has had to evolve and find ways to locate people in
cars and on cell phones, Brandt explained. In the beginning,
the call came with a name, an address, and a phone number,
so we really had a very good idea where the help was needed.
With a cell phone, they may be in a woods, on a highway,
or they might not even know where on a highway they are.
Thats been the big challenge for us to keep up with all the
changes in technology.
Brandt said that the process began with the county commissioners and representatives from cities, villages, and townships around the county. Once a technical advisory committee
was devised, it needed approval of the commissioners. The
first 911 call in Van Wert County was made by then-Commissioner Dick Dunlap. Answering that call was Ory Perl, who
still works at the Van Wert Police Department.
Brandt said, If somebody doesnt take the bull by the
horns, things dont happen, so we are thankful that we have
this service and that we have been able to maintain it and keep
up with the times as much as possible.
With all the changes and updates over the years, the countys system has been able to keep up, both technologically and
being well-equipped. And the future is well in focus.
We purchased new equipment in 2013 that is NextGenReady. When we decide we can take text messages, this equipment will be able to handle that, Brandt reported. Were in a
good place right now financially and equipment-wise.
Having the 911 system in place has meant a lot to many
around the county. Their everyday service has been greatly
appreciated and they have been especially noticed in times like
the tornado that hit Van Wert County and the derecho which
knocked out power all over the county. There are roughly 15
dispatchers working for the various law enforcement units,
plus a few part timers as well.
I know of babies that were delivered, lives saved, CPR
given, Brandt stated. 911-dispatchers are hearing from people at their time of greatest need. I cant say enough about
our dispatchers. They typically either last a month or theyre
here through retirement. Our full time people are very good.
Theyve been at the desk a long time and they know what they
are doing. Id like to give a shout out to them! It takes a special
person to do that dispatching job.
On Saturday, there will be a trap shoot at Van Wert
Outdorsmens Club on Ringwald Rd. near Middle Point from
2-4 p.m. and a buffet from 6-8 p.m. at Black Angus on Main
for any elected officials, past board members, firefighters, or
supporters of the 911 system. The activities are being paid
for by funds from the calendar Project from law enforcement
calendars, not from tax dollars.

While she was at Ohio

Northern, Millmine became
deeply interested in family dynamics and jury justice. I felt that social work
provided the most opportunities for me because I
could get a license in social
work, observed Millmine.
I did a lot of work with
abused and neglect kids. I
worked with various social
agencies.
When I worked for
Childrens Services, I
referred some parents to
this program, continued
Millmine. For the past eight
years, Millmine has been
employed at her present
position. Someone comes
to us to apply for the program. I determine if they are
eligible, noted Millmine.
They have to have some
typed of documented disability or diagnosis that
interferes with employment.
I help them put together a
plan for employment, what
job would be good and best
for them.
Millmine then contacts a
job developer who goes out
and talks with businesses
and speaks to employers on
the individuals behalf. The
Millmine
developer helps the person with need to develop
a resume for use in talking
with an employer. Once
a person secures employment, Millmine said that
her agency doesnt close on
that individuals case until
they have worked for that
employer for 90 days.
Millmine said that people come to her from various references. She has
access to medical resources, mental health resources,
school resources and various other resources. Once
she has a full understanding
of their needs, she puts a
plan in place to help them.
We have a list of different

companies in Van Wert that
will work with this, noted
Millmine.
Those who would like
to inquire with the local
opportunities for Ohioans
with Disabilities may do
so by phoning (419) 2281421.
